Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Document the defined tone (Sophisticated, Luxurious, Aspirational) and key messaging pillars (Durability, Elegance, Innovation, Enhanced Journey). Include approved vocabulary, "do's and don'ts," and examples. This ensures anyone creating content understands the brand's verbal identity.
• •Focus on "Show, Don't Just Tell": Instead of just saying "durable," describe the materials and engineering that make it durable (e.g., "aerospace-grade aluminum," "reinforced corners"). Instead of "luxurious," paint a picture of the experience it enables.
• •Emphasize the "Why": Connect product features to traveler benefits. For example, "smooth 360° wheels" aren't just a feature, they offer "effortless navigation through bustling terminals." "TSA-approved locks" provide "hassle-free security checks and peace of mind."
• •Incorporate User-Generated Content (UGC) and Storytelling (Authentically): As suggested by forum feedback, actively encourage and showcase real customers using Itinera luggage in their travels. Weave these stories into copy to build authenticity, social proof, and relatability, moving beyond just product shots to lifestyle integration. This can help address the "dropshipping" skepticism.
• •Maintain Consistency Across All Touchpoints: Ensure the sophisticated and luxurious tone is consistently applied everywhere – website copy, product descriptions, social media captions, email marketing, customer service interactions, and even the FAQ section. Regular audits of content can help maintain this consistency.

Social Perception

Positive (from website reviews). Skepticism/Areas for Improvement (from external forums like Reddit): There's a perception among some online users that the brand, while having a polished website and appealing products, lacks sufficient unique branding elements and social proof to fully distinguish itself from potentially lower-quality or dropshipped alternatives. Concerns include the need for more transparency about the company, visible branding on products in lifestyle contexts, and a stronger, more differentiated brand story. The product is seen as an alternative to higher-priced luxury brands like Rimowa, but the value proposition needs to be clearer if it's not solely about a lower price.
